My grandparents did the same thing. They couldn’t afford to travel for my parents wedding, but they called my dad the night before the wedding to ask him not to marry my mom. Obviously he married her anyway-and they’ve been married for 59 years.
As entertaining as the dynamics on Gilmore Girls can be, Richard's mother really was inexcusably horrible to Emily. Yes people have stated that Emily is hypocritical since she too can be intimidating, judgmental and critical. However Emily genuinely loves Lorelei and wants to have good relationship with her. Further Lorelei is not afraid push back when Emily makes one of her remarks and their combativeness is part of their normal dynamic. Emily does try to make an effort and we see that they can get along just as much as they fight. Also, we've seen that if someone tries to hurt her daughter, Emily will come in guns blazing. Richard's mother had no interest in building a real relationship with Emily. She took every opportunity to demean and bully her for the sake of it, even though Emily had proven to be a good wife & partner to Richard as well as a respected & regarded pillar of their community. The best example of the difference between the 2 women is when after Emily finally accepted Luke and found out he had a daughter, she took it upon herself to try to get to know the girl. She had enough sense and sensitivity to know that April would part of their lives and she should build a relationship with her. Granted the scene was played for laughs with Emily spending time with the wrong girl, but the point is she made the effort. You can't imagine Trix ever doing anything like that.
I am not quite sure, that Emily realized that at the time. If I remember correctly they thought Lorelai exaggerated about the Huntzbergers dissing Rory.
well once Emily realized Rory was not exaggerating about Logan's mom, she did confront and eviscerate her. She saw that the she was treating Rory was the same way Richard's mother treated her. Like Lorelei I. Shira Huntsberg tried to hide behind family status and position when in fact she simply didn't like Rory.
Emily’s family was considered beneath Richard’s family. But that wasn’t so with Rory and Logan. Her lineage was better than Logan’s…. So she assumed there wouldn’t be an issue. But Logan’s family thought they were all that because of their money.
No but to literally put it to paper is wild behavior. And then for him to keep it and file it away is even wilder. He could've thrown that away at a gas station or anywhere
@@megmur1766No remember, Emily said it was a carbon copy. So the original letter that Richard got he probably did destroy it since he went on to marry Emily. It was messed up that the mother kept a copy of the letter for all these years but we do know she didn’t like Emily.
lol! I always thought Emily played this whole thing wrong. Of COURSE Trix didn’t like her, that was obvious. What Emily should have taken away from this was that (probably) the only time Richard ever told his mother tough deal with it was when it came to her. she should have read that letter, taken 20 min to fume and then giggled and skipped her way up the stairs, back home to her husband and told him thank you for choosing us over your mother. Then giggled as SHE GOT EVERYTHING. Richard was an only child and didn't care about the estate. Emily should have spent the next 20 years selling, donating and shooting with a bebe gun anything of Trix's she wanted to that Richard wouldn't miss. All wrong Emily. She should have taken it for the victory it was.
Spoiler……… Don’t read farther if you haven’t made it to the part where Rory goes to Yale. But Richard has been “having lunch” with PennyLyn every year since they got married. He doesn’t Emily and she doesn’t tell her husband. And they’ve been doing that that for almost 40 years.
Ya I remember seeing this for the first time and thinking it weird at how big of a revelation it was to discover this. I think the part that hit Emily the hardest though is she approved of Pennilyn Lot, the one Emily discovered recently Richard was still having a yearly lunch with behind her back. But I agree, she should also talk to Richard about this and how he chose to go through with the wedding anyway and see it as a win. It shows that he did put Emily first in spite of his mother’s wishes
I think her hang up is that she spent years trying to win the woman over at her husband's request/ for his benefit, when if she had known about the letter, she could have written her MIL off and simply enjoyed herself. So it's a combination of wasted time and effort, and that her husband let her spend all of that effort and didn't put in a limit until, basically, now, when he decides his mother has finally asked too much of his wife.
That lunch thing was super weird. Like WHY? And why hide it if you’re going to? I’d mention it to her husband in front of both of them just to see the reaction.
Amazing! I love all your videos & how you put just the right moments & comforts in each one! Best Gilmore Girls channel yet! And that’s coming from a GG Fanatic!😂❤
Too late, but not too little, it seems. A shame that Richard couldn't stand up to Trix when she was alive, but at least he finally learned to take Emily into account.
Well not in this scenario. I’d rather not have such a ridiculously horrible relationship with my mother in law and find out something so horrible after her passing.
Why does anyone care so much what anyone else thinks of them? Did Emily not get satisfaction from the fact her husband defied the Gorgon’s wishes and married her anyway? Emily knew the Gorgon hated her. Why be so upset now? Medusa can’t do anything else but be Medusa. She’s dead. Who care what she thought or did.
Because Emily is clearly a narcissist. She can't understand why granny Lorelei preferred Pennilyn Lott to her. Even Richard cheated on her with Pennilyn (it was an emotional affair, or so the writers want us to believe). But if you see how Emily treats her own daughter, the servants/people with less finances than her, and how stuck up and vicious she can become at the drop of a hat, I completely understand why Richard's mom hated her. Lorelei is just giving her daughter in law a taste of her own medicine.
Emily is insecure. She needs the approval of others and she cares what people thinks of her. Even Lorelai, whom she constantly criticizes, she wants a relationship with.
@Ariana-wv4pf I don't think that's accurate especially with how Richard's mom treated him and others. Richard's mom would also be considered a narcissist based on the exact parameters you listed.
Because Emily was bending over and backwards to make her happy or have a civil relationship and she is not giving her any brake. Emily is a prefectionist. Everything has to be perfect or at least seem perfect about her, her family and the event she is planning. Her only job for her whole life is trying to make her husband look good and keep their social standing (DAR, charity work). Doing this funeral the perfect way is also inculded in that. Trix left very specific instructions and it says a lot about Emily than even after her death she is following it without missing anything. If you ever planned anything like this, you know it is crazy amount of work and pushes you on the edge. You spend days going through someone's stuff, trying to treat everything in a respectful way. Once my mother and I had to get rid of around 50 porcelain statues of Jesus and Mary. What do you do? Nobody in the family will want it, we don't want it, but we can't just throw that in that trash. We try to donate it, but of course nobody wants it, we even asked the priest when we asked him to do the funeral if he has an idea what to do and that is just one little thing out of 500 things on your todo list. You call family members and friends to let them know. You literally spend days on the phone having the same conversation with everybody (my condolences, do you remember the time she did this and that?) and you are working close deadlines with caterers and other service providers. You do this for a week and I guarantee you also have breakdown reading something like this.
The fact that they were second cousins. I'm sorry but a cousin is a cousin to me. It doesn't matter if we 13th or 14th you are still somehow someway related to me.
Friend, we are all cousins to some degree. Everyone on earth is at least 50th cousins. If you marry someone of the same ethnicity as you, you're probably at least 15th cousins.
"Well then, More for me."
“I can’t believe you wore those shoes to a funeral!” 😂😂 oh Emily love you!
ugh my Mom is exactly like that.
I appreciate the Emily character but sometimes it hits a little too close to home.
My grandparents did the same thing. They couldn’t afford to travel for my parents wedding, but they called my dad the night before the wedding to ask him not to marry my mom. Obviously he married her anyway-and they’ve been married for 59 years.
Good thing they couldn’t attend the wedding 💒 as they opposed it
4:10-5:00 has to be One the sweetest moments in Gilmore Girl history.
The only time in the entire series where Emily Gilmore was absolutely in the right and absolutely relatable.
Her smile when Richard says buried with my father.
He has always loved her so much even if they had figths heloves her like the first time.

She took every opportunity to demean and bully her for the sake of it, even though Emily had proven to be a good wife & partner to Richard as well as a respected & regarded pillar of their community. The best example of the difference between the 2 women is when after Emily finally accepted Luke and found out he had a daughter, she took it upon herself to try to get to know the girl. She had enough sense and sensitivity to know that April would part of their lives and she should build a relationship with her. Granted the scene was played for laughs with Emily spending time with the wrong girl, but the point is she made the effort. You can't imagine Trix ever doing anything like that.
"I think she broke" I love Sookie lol
💡Now it finally clicks, I wondered why Trix would say “Gilmore’s don’t get sick” 😂 second cousins ❤
Hahaha, never thought of that. 😂😂😂😂😂
So Rory is an inbred. That explains a lot.
Considering this you’d think Emily of all people would understand best what Rory was going through with Logan’s family.
I am not quite sure, that Emily realized that at the time.
If I remember correctly they thought Lorelai exaggerated about the Huntzbergers dissing Rory.

Wasn’t it obvious that Richard’s mother didn’t like her? That letter couldn’t have been shocking.

@brandijoy1 Emily isn't likeable. Pennilyn was a sweetheart. He should have married Pennilyn
@@Surfer041 Emily was entertaining. Penilyn would've bored Richard. Emily gave him as good as he gave her
@@Surfer041go away
Go Emily Go!!!I just loved this episode it shows the great Theatrical person she really is.🙌🙌🙌🙌
"About what?" 😂😂😂
The way she said it too 😂

Trixie zero - Emily reigns supreme 😂 and is emotionally constipated...she no longer gives a floof about anything.
Emily is behaving a lot like Paris here! 😅
Amazing! I love all your videos & how you put just the right moments & comforts in each one! Best Gilmore Girls channel yet! And that’s coming from a GG Fanatic!😂❤
This actually means so much to us, thank you!
Too late, but not too little, it seems. A shame that Richard couldn't stand up to Trix when she was alive, but at least he finally learned to take Emily into account.
i wish i could be in gilmore girls
Well not in this scenario. I’d rather not have such a ridiculously horrible relationship with my mother in law and find out something so horrible after her passing.
‘Nothings happening here.’ 😂
The Immortal Marion Ross, still working, still acting at the age of 95.
I'm with Emily. I would uave stopped planning the funeral.
“Man, she sure used a lot of exclamation points.”
Emily and Richard 🥺🥺🥺🥺
& the actress who played the grandmother is still alive
Sounds like Lorele’s grandma would’ve been happier if he’d married a close relative rather than her mother
Its ironic she is hurt, when she has done worse to Luke .. god knows she deserved worse heartaches
Why does anyone care so much what anyone else thinks of them? Did Emily not get satisfaction from the fact her husband defied the Gorgon’s wishes and married her anyway? Emily knew the Gorgon hated her. Why be so upset now? Medusa can’t do anything else but be Medusa. She’s dead. Who care what she thought or did.
And....there would be NO ashes on the mantle in her memory!

I just realized Kelly Bishop would be a good Tallulah Bankhead!
She passed? What grade did she get?
No personal hate to Coach, Wishing Success to All, but....😉
richard really loves emily. he even ignores her mother wish to be half in the mantelpiece, he know it would make emily crazy.
Yea honestly that IS creepy she wanted half of her ashes on the mantle
oh ok
I think she broke 😂
Most people don't even know whom are their second cousins, let alone being close to them. I believe second cousin is quite far enough of a distance
U still share a great grandparent
I have to ask (For Lorelai) how many toes you have....
It's far enough away to get married and have kids. It's first cousins that are problematic
Blink...blink...yeah genetically noooo. But live and let live
They share about 3 to 5 percent DNA.
I think we brushed past that incest thing way too quick what thE FU-
The fact that they were second cousins. I'm sorry but a cousin is a cousin to me. It doesn't matter if we 13th or 14th you are still somehow someway related to me.
